Are spiders afraid of flourescent lights?

Question

Im terrified of spiders so I assume if I had a flourescent light on it will not come around.

Answer 1

No!  In fact, lights attract insects at night, and since spiders feed on insects, the spiders will come to the food source.

Your fear is illogical.  Ignorance and lack of knowledge about an animal is where fear is based.  If you take the time to learn about spiders you will lose your fear.  Remember, no matter how big or ferocious the spider may seem, YOU are bigger, faster, and smarter than they are.  They have far more reason to fear you than you do them.  99.9% of spiders are harmless to man.

Spiders are wonderful creatures.  If it were not for spiders we could not exist.  They help keep our planet healthy and strong by feeding on insects like Flies, Gnats, Mosquitoes, Cockroaches, Crickets, Termites, etc, etc.  Would you rather have one little harmless spider in your house, or 100 Cockroaches?  Think about it.

Answer 2

Only if the lights were going to eat them?
